MISSION

The Salvation Army’s Litchfield Hills Service Unit meets the needs of individuals and families in crisis who reside in Bethlehem, Litchfield, Morris, and Thomaston. Assistance is provided through a voucher system and allows for the provision of food, clothing, utility assistance, furniture, household items, prescription aid, rent, and more. When appropriate, clients are referred to other local providers for additional assistance.

How will funds raised during Give Local benefit your organization?

Funds raised will be used to meet the basic needs of individuals and families residing within the Litchfield Hills Service Unit. With funds raised through Give Local in 2016, we established Home Goods Closets in all four towns. These Closets are stocked with paper products, cleaning products and personal hygiene items which patrons often cannot purchase due to lack of cash. Clients express both joy and relief when they learn of this option.
